My starting summon is a small skeleton

Little Flood Dragon managed to escape from Jiangnan University with Little Skeleton through the toilet, entering the sea area outside of Fucheng to initiate the second search for Lu Wu.

However, just after leaving, Little Flood Dragon and Little Skeleton were completely at a loss.

Because the situation this time was different from the last time Little Flood Dragon searched for him.

Last time, Lu Wu and Little Flood Dragon had a contract between them.

Little Flood Dragon could pinpoint Lu Wu's location, making searching very simple and easy.

But this time, the contract between Little Flood Dragon and Lu Wu had been temporarily severed by Lu Wu.

The gap in their powers was also quite significant.

Lu Wu was already nearing King Level 2 Star.

Little Flood Dragon and Little Skeleton were merely at Lord 3 Star power.

Naturally, they had no way of breaking through Lu Wu's lockdown, so they didn't know where to start looking for him.

(You said you were good at finding Lu Wu, right?)

Little Skeleton looked at the confused Little Flood Dragon with some discontent.

(Liar, you're just like Lu Wu, a liar!)

Little Flood Dragon couldn't stand it.

Who is like Lu Wu?

He, Little Flood Dragon, was nothing like Lu Wu at all!

Angered, Little Flood Dragon let out a roar in the sea.

With Little Flood Dragon's roar, waves surged around them, and a large number of Little Flood Dragon's "brothers" rushed over, quickly filling the sea area they were in.

(Little Flood Dragon might not know where to find Lu Wu, but Little Flood Dragon knows how to find him. We'll find our little brothers, then let our little brothers search for Lu Wu. As long as we have enough little brothers, we're sure to find Lu Wu.)

Ah, look at what Little Flood Dragon said.

There's nothing wrong with those words at all!

As long as he could turn all the summoned beasts on Earth into his little brothers, finding Lu Wu should be an easy task, shouldn't it?

Little Skeleton also felt that it made sense.

So, these two simpletons, on their first day out, naturally shifted from searching for Lu Wu to recruiting little brothers.

The two, leading a large group of little brothers, directly launched an attack on the summoned beast groups in the nearby sea area, starting a massive brawl.

Their behavior had been closely monitored by someone at Jiangnan University, who was quite displeased.

She had let these two rascals out because she had guessed they were going to look for Lu Wu.

She had thought that keeping an eye on them would lead her to Lu Wu, but to her surprise, as soon as they left, they started fighting with their little brothers, giving her a strong urge to fetch them back and discipline them a hundred times over.

But in the end, she didn't intervene and just watched as these two rascals unified the sea area thousands of kilometers outside Fucheng in just one week.

…...

In the Fucheng Sea Area, Little Flood Dragon and Little Skeleton ruled supreme.

With a week's effort, they secured a vast territory.

On the other side, for Lu Wu.

He also spent a week integrating the skills he had acquired into the Lu Family Swordsmanship, excluding Divine Wrath and Fire God Slash.

The integration of one Must Kill and three Ultimate Skills allowed the Lu Family Swordsmanship to progress slightly.

But it was still classified as Ultimate Skill, just shy of the Secret Skill level.

Of course, if Lu Wu could integrate the Ultimate Level skill, Fire God Slash, then the Lu Family Swordsmanship might reach the Secret Skill level.

But since Fire God Slash was an Ultimate Level skill, integrating it would require more time and effort; seven days was a bit too short.

"Without a couple of months, merging Fire God Slash is definitely not possible. The time is a bit too long."

If it had been before, Lu Wu wouldn't mind spending a couple of months, but now he was reluctant to take that time.

Because time waits for no one.

"In another two months, Feng Xiu's recovery ceremony will start. If I want to help him, I need to start preparing early, plus there's…"

Lu Wu paused, his eyes glancing towards District 11.

"I might need to make a trip back to District 11."

Ever since Lu Wu saw those two reports, there has been a fire pressing on his heart. He couldn't let go of the issue regarding District 11 and the incident with the Eighth Angel and Sakuragi Hanakazuki.

So, after hesitating for seven days, Lu Wu finally decided he had to return to District 11.

"I need to go back, but I can't go back openly as Zhengdaguangming, nor can I use the identity of Lu Wu."

To go back, Lu Wu would have to assume another identity.

In this regard, Lu Wu had a rather good idea.

With a swing of his longsword in hand, his aura began to change, his body exuding an evil presence like that of an Evil Cultivator.

This state, induced by the merging of evil energy, was called by Lu Wu as the Evil Cultivator state.

"With this state, I should be able to infiltrate the 'Zero' organization in District 11. However, I'll have to change my sword; the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword is too recognizable and can't be used!"

This wasn't a difficult issue.

Once in District 11, Lu Wu could simply acquire a Divine Artifact.

Since District 11 lacked nothing but had many Divine Artifacts, the talent of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword had given Lu Wu the ability to control Divine Artifacts.

After reconsidering a bit and confirming it should be feasible, Lu Wu set off.

Lu Wu, remembering all the routes from District 12 to District 11, made the journey quickly.

Transforming into a dragon to travel through the sea, he covered great distances in just one day and once again returned to District 11.

Lu Wu, having seen certain confidential documents related to District 11 from the Ninth Apostle, had a decent understanding of the 'Zero' organization there.

Before entering District 11, he had already planned how to infiltrate the organization.

Joining the organization was simple: as long as one was an Evil Summoner, powerful and crazy enough, it was easy to get recruited.

So, what Lu Wu needed to do was simple—he just had to start slaughtering.

When choosing targets for his slaughter upon returning to District 11, Lu Wu had already made his choice.

The Liu Chuan Family!

This family was Lu Wu's chosen target.

The reason for choosing the Liu Chuan Family was that they had initiated the capture of the Sakuragi Family, seized the opportunity, and successfully usurped the Sakuragi Family's assets.

Having done such a thing, when it came time to kill, they naturally came to mind first for Lu Wu.

…...

Sakuragi City, or perhaps it should be said, the city that once was Sakuragi City.

After several months,

Lu Wu returned to this place, and everything had changed.

Sakuragi City had already been renamed Liu Chuan City, and the original Sakuragi family's City Lord Mansion had become someone else's property now.

There was a bit of irony in this.

Instead of declining because of the change in leadership, the city seemed even more prosperous.

The population of the city had increased significantly.

The streets of the city had become busier.

Moreover, the decades-old City Lord Mansion of the Sakuragi family had been renovated by the current leaders.

The entire city, inside and out, presented a thriving scene.

And this was the scene that Rukawa Feng enjoyed the most.

Every time he stood at the peak of Liu Chuan City, looking down at the bustling city now belonging to him, his heart swelled with pride.

Then he murmured to himself, "Indeed, I was right, I am more suited to be the lord of this city than the Sakuragi family."

"The Rukawa family indeed understands management better than the Sakuragi family."

Lu Wu, upon entering the city, made such a comment as well.

From the perspective of city construction, there was no denying Rukawa Feng was right.

He indeed did a better job than the Sakuragi family.

Lu Wu acknowledged this, but it did not prevent him from taking action against the Rukawa family.

However, to take action, he needed a reason; he couldn't just find someone and start a fight without saying anything – Lu Wu was a person who cared about propriety, and such impoliteness was not his style.

Just as Lu Wu was contemplating the reason to cause trouble for the Rukawa family, the street where he was suddenly erupted into commotion.

Lu Wu looked up and saw a well-dressed youth riding a recently summoned Summoned Beast, strutting through the town with a group of bodyguards.

Quite the spectacle.

Observing the attributes of the opponent's Summoned Beast, the corners of Lu Wu's mouth curled slightly as he got an idea.

With that, Lu Wu walked toward that unlucky youth and stopped right in front of the youth's procession.

This youth, named Liu Chuancheng, was the son of the current city lord, arguably the city's biggest second-generation. Although he was indeed a second-generation, his personality was surprisingly soft.

When Lu Wu blocked his path right in the middle of the road, Liu Chuancheng, after making eye contact with Lu Wu, surprisingly said nothing and tried to avoid him.

Lu Wu was startled, touched his nose, and moved a few steps in the direction Liu Chuancheng was avoiding to block him again.

Such bold actions made the surrounding people gasp.

However, Liu Chuancheng was not provoked.

Instead, after the third time, he stopped and looked pitifully at Lu Wu amidst the gaping crowd, "Excuse me, do you need anything?

If there's something I can help with, please tell me, and I'll do my best to accommodate you!"

Lu Wu sneered, though the youth was not following his script, as a professional actor, Lu Wu continued with his own plot.

Standing with hands on hips, he said in a particularly societal manner to the meek second-generation, "Your Summoned Beast just glared at me. I was quite frightened. You need to compensate me with money!"

Liu Chuancheng, giving a deep bow and noticing his particularly innocent Summoned Beast whose teary eyes were almost falling out, replied profoundly.

"I am terribly sorry, it is my lack of discipline. Please tell me how much you need, I will provide it without hesitation.

Absolutely no second words!"

Liu Chuancheng's statement stunned everyone.

Everyone looked at him as if discovering a new continent.

'Is that even possible?' They thought.

The bold-hearted ones already had their eyes spinning, they felt like they had stumbled upon a new way to make money.

Maybe if they tried this on Liu Chuancheng as well, they could make a fortune.

Lu Wuke, however, did not care what the people around him thought; his eyes continuously surveyed Liu Chuancheng.

Lu Wuke could feel the trembling of this guy.

Lu Wuke also knew why he was behaving this way, it was clearly because he had discovered his identity.

Of course, this identity was not that of a respectable person or Lu Wuke, but that of an Evil Summoner.

From the moment Lu Wuke entered this city, he had activated the Evil Summoner state; ordinary people might not notice, but Liu Chuancheng's bodyguards could feel the evil energy emanating from Lu Wuke.

This was the real reason behind Liu Chuancheng's cowardice.

This also gave Lu Wuke a deeper understanding of "Zero"'s terrifying influence in Zone 11.

Just with the evil energy, he made a second-generation rich kid bow and submit, "Zero"'s power was terrifying like this.

But this gave Lu Wuke a bit of a headache.

With them submitting so meekly, his script could hardly continue.

He had originally planned to play the fool to catch the wise, allowing them to bully him and then erupt with a slap that would kill the younger one. Then draw in the elder one and kill the elder, subsequently luring out the oldest to kill the oldest.

Yet his perfect plan failed right from the start.

Helplessly, Lu Wuke could only rub his nose.

"Forget it, I'm not really a bad person."

As soon as Lu Wuke said this, Liu Chuancheng breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly praising his own extreme cowardice, but then, Lu Wuke continued.

"Just casually compensate me with about ten to twenty legendary quality items, and we can let this matter go."

"What?"

Liu Chuancheng almost spewed a mouthful of old blood.

Legendary quality items? And ten to twenty of them? Was Lu Wuke planning a robbery?

Oh no, wrong, Lu Wuke was actually robbing.

"What? Do you have a problem?"

Lu Wuke became furious, "I was so frightened by your summoned beast that I almost had a heart attack, and I'm only asking for ten to twenty legendary quality items, and you dare to have an opinion?

Are you looking down on my real estate business too much?"

Look at how angry Lu Wuke was, the evil energy around him almost materializing. This terrifying energy made Liu Chuancheng, who had a bit of an objection initially, completely give in as he kneeled and continually begged for mercy.

"Your Honor, I have no objections, I have no objections. I will immediately send someone home to fetch them."

Liu Chuancheng said, giving a meaningful glance to his bodyguard behind him.

The bodyguard, exceptionally sharp and intuitively aligned with his young master's thoughts, rushed home at the first opportunity to report the situation to the current master of this city, Rukawa Feng.

He was currently meeting with a mysterious person.

Upon hearing that a suspected Lord Level Evil Summoner had come to his city, blocked his son, and demanded ten to twenty legendary items, Rukawa Feng immediately turned his attention to the mysterious person beside him.

That person picked up a teacup and gently took a sip.

"Don't look at me; not my man.

Likely not "Zero"'s either, probably just a freshly evilized rookie. Handle him however you need to. Once you're done, bring him over. I could use more people, and if he fits, I'll take him."

"Yes!"

Rukawa Feng bowed respectfully to the mysterious person and then ordered his subordinates to get to work.

The terror of an Evil Summoner lay in "Zero"; since he was not "Zero"'s person, there was nothing to fear…
